  • Magnetic element temperature sensors
    Patent number: 8251581
    Abstract: The temperature sensors (26,64,96) preferably include a plurality of individual, magnetically susceptible temperature sensor elements (28-34,66,92), as well as optional magnetic field-responsive data elements (38,40,20) adapted for attachment to object (44) or to a substrate (82) in turn attached to object (44). The temperature sensor elements (28-34,66,92) preferably have magnetic bodies (22,70) exhibiting a re-magnetization response under the influence of an applied alternating magnetic field, which is different below and above a set point temperature, normally the Curie temperature of the magnetic body (22) or an adjacent sheath (74,94).
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 22, 2010
    Date of Patent: August 28, 2012
    Assignee: TSI Technologies LLC
    Inventors: Brian L. Clothier, Edwin T. Abbett
